should be so small and hidden so far from
the eyes of men. On this great bed of
mud the most remarkable creatures live
in vast numbers. There are serpent-like
starfishes, beautiful branching corals,
ugly black fishes, pure white 'sea-cucum-
bers," bright pink, purple and red sea-
anemones, and host of other creatures.
The fishes are always strange and I'M

surface their air bladders and stomachs
protrude from their mouths, their eyes
bulge out and the blood is forced through
the skin. Life has been crushed out of
them by the sudden change of pressure,
the gases within having burst the tissues
and body walls asunder. The tremendous
pressure of the water was well shown by
lowering an empty bottle, which was
crushed to atoms.

HORTICULTU NEEDS.
The Want of Interest I'm Fruit-Growins
Displayed by Many Farmers.

The Want of Interest in Fruit Gro win e
Displayed by Many Farmers.
There is no question that the great
majority of our people who live in the
country do not enjoy what they might
in the way of horticultural comforts
and luxuries. They occasionally have
q fine treat of delicious fruit-it may
be from some careful and diligent
neighbor, or from an isolated tree on
their own grounds. But during most
of the days of the year they have moth
ing. A fruit-raiser sent choice dishes
of strawberries and raspberries to
some of his neighbors, offering at the
same time the plants gratis. for plant
ing time. They were ''delighted-
would certainly plant and raise the
fruit for themselves But when plant
ing time came. every one forgot his
resolution-they were busy about other
things. 1t was true that one of them
bought of travelling agent some
high-priced plants, most of which died
for want of care, and the few which
lived and bore proved inferior to those
which the neighbor offered without
pay.
If any one will take the trouble to
inquire, he will find that very few of
his neighbors have regular and daily
supply of fresh fruit for their families,
or on their tables. Is it because they
are too poor to raise it? Not at all
the cost is trifling-they had land
enough-their grounds are growing
more weeds in quantity than the re-
CURED growth of fruit bearing plants.
The great need is the absence of in
telligence and the want of interest.
The people have not informed them
selves how easy it would be to provide
a continuous supply of these luxuries.
They do not know of the best and most
productive sorts. If they happen to
procure any. it does not receive the
same care that farmers give their corn
and potatoes, and the plants either die
or yield poor supplies. 1t can not be
denied that these remarks apply to a
great multitude, while there are
many exceptions. Not being in
formed as to the best sorts,
they are sometimes badly imposed on
by counterfeit fruit agents. Their
families suffer the privation of both
the health and comfort which might be
easily afforded. The owners, with the
plea that they ''can not afford to
raise fruit. lose the benefit of the econ
omy which plentiful supply would
give them.
The remedy for these formidable
defects is to educate the people at
large-to let them know what the best
fruit is; how easily it may be had un-
der proper care; to learn how much it
would aid in lessening doctors bills;
to see how it would reduce grocers'
bills; and to contribute towards max
ing pleasant homes. Those who have
plenty of excellent fruit may aid in the
good work by sending presents to their
and show how readily they
may help themselves; while on larger
scale, periodicals, books and fruit
growers societies may aid largely in
the general good Country Gentle
man.

Warm salt water inhaled through

Silver should be washed with a
chamois skin saturated with silver soap

Grass should be cut, if possible,

it is better to do this work in the aft

Among the many practical re.
forms needed on the farm is the abol-

A tragical suicide, which has a toucL Of
romance about, has just occurred at the
prison of Karthaus, near Prague. A young
soldier named KaZowsky was standing
guard there. In his early youth he had
lost his father, not through death, but in
a far more melancholy way. His father
had committed murder, had been pro-
nounced guilty and condemned to twenty
years hard labor. The young son was
then eight years old, and his fathers feat
ures remained firmly imprinted upon his
memory, as well as the whole painful i'm
preston of the event. which produced a
severe shock upon his youthful mind.
While standing sentry before the prison of
karthaus, and seeing the convicts led past
him on their way to the open air, he recog-
nized in one of the hoary criminals his
own father. He spoke no word, neither
did he discover himself to his father, but
on being relieved from his post he quietly
loaded his gun and discharged bullet at
his head. Dying, he confessed to his COM
rades the horrible discovery he had made,
and which had driven him to seek death at
his own hands.

Suffering to Be Beautiful.

From their earliest youth the Bur-
mese men tattoo their legs from the
thighs down to the knees with designs
both floral and animal, and puncture
the upper part of their bodies with
numerous round holes, into which they
rub vermilion powder. This operation
is such that opium is often admins
tered to deaden the agonizing pain
that it causes, and have heard that
deaths frequently ensue from gan

these punctures. But there is a
proverb which says, III taut sou4frtr

envy excited afterward may perhaps
compensate these victims of vanity for
the fortunes to which the decoration
subjected them. The tattooing is eff
fected by the juice of plant which

serpent editor of the Dakota Bell. saw
one on a log floating in little arm of
slack water running in from the river. It
was long and slender, and one or two coils
were on the log and its head raised about
a foot. Suddenly l saw it make quick

where could see it better. l watched it
catch two more and saw how it
was done. 1t had it's tail in the
water for the length of about three feet,
and the fish bit the end of it and was
jerked out, understood it still more thor
oughly when the snake left the log and
swan to the shore, where l killed it. On
the end of its tail there was sort of bone
fish hook 1t was double and much the
shape of an anchor. 1t was very sharp,
like the teeth of some fish, and the snake
had baited it with large grasshopper.
The whole length of its body was seven
feet. 1t was of yellowish, clayey color,
much the same as the water in which it
was fishing. I think it must be confined
and intended for the Missouri river, which
is always of the same muddy, milky color.
Since killing that one have seen num-
Der of others. One day last week I saw
three on one log, and fishing very intently.
While 1 was watching them one hooked
larger fish than it could land. 1t was a
catfish which would weigh as much as six
pounds. The snake coiled around the log
and hung on, but it could have never
drawn the fish out had not the others come
to it's assistance, reached down their tails
coiled them around the fish and finally
landed it. 1t was too big for them to swal-
low, and after unlocking it from the first
ones tail they let it slide back.
